What is the repository system?

The respiratory system is the bodily system that allows us to breathe. The respiratory system is so interlocked with the circulatory system that the two are often referred to as the cardiopulmonary system. It all starts when we breathe in air from our nose and mouth. The fresh oxygen travels through our mouth and/or nasal cavity to our trachea. After a certain point, the trachea splits into two bronchi, which then split into bronchioles. The bronchioles and in alveoli, or air sacs. The blood capillaries are wrapped around these alveoli. Oxygen passes into the capillaries while carbon dioxide is released. The carbon dioxide travels back up and out of the body.

SO therefore have a generalised stimulus.A stimulus discrimination is when the participant can discriminate between stimulus ad therefore weaken the effect of the stimulus on the required response.Example, A dog is given increasingly different sounding bells from the original meaning the stimulus will have a decreased effect and eventually will not the response at all.
